To investigate the fundamental causes of bloat, six artificial random binary tree search spaces are presented. Fitness is given by program syntax (the genetic programming genotype)...
We present an algorithm to solve XPath decision problems under regular tree type constraints and show its use to statically typecheck XPath queries. To this end, we prove the deci...
Abstract. We describe two methods for estimating the size and depth of decision trees where a linear test is performed at each node. Both methods are applied to the question of dec...
In a recent paper we introduced a new framework for the study of call by need computations. Using elementary tree automata techniques and ground tree transducers we obtained simple...
Concerning the set of rooted binary trees, one shows that Higman’s Lemma and Dershowitz’s recursive path ordering can be used for the decision of its maximal order type accordi...
